If someone accidentally damages another person's property, when can they be legally required to pay compensation, and how does the law determine who is responsible? Edited

This question explores the basic principles of civil liability, negligence, and compensation. You can ask a lawyer how the law distinguishes between an unavoidable accident, ordinary carelessness, and negligence; what evidence is considered when determining responsibility; and how the amount of compensation is generally calculated.

For example, if someone accidentally damages a neighbor's car, the legal outcome may depend on what happened, whether the person acted reasonably, whether they owed the owner a duty of care, and whether the damage could reasonably have been avoided.

You can also ask how these principles differ between civil liability and criminal liability, since causing damage does not automatically mean that a person has committed a crime. Edit
